Truck weight

I went to the scrap yard the other day and had my truck weighed in the process, so figured I'd share my data

Exactly 4200 lbs (rounded to nearest 20 lb) with a quarter-tank of gas, hitch, bed cap, and me (165 lbs) in it. That's a '91 Standard cab long-bed with 4.9 RWD and M5R2.

So without me and the hitch, somewhere close to 4000 lbs. Without the cap, probably about 3800 lbs.

I assume you have a 2 wheel drive. My 1988 f-150 4 wheel drive with the same engine and the M5R2 4WD transmission weighs in at about 4500 lbs. empty.

My '96 F150 supercab short box with 351W/E4OD/4X4 was 5200 lbs stock. Probably one of the heavier half ton builds of that era aside from a long bed with super cab.

My scale weight on the registration says 4100#, but I doubt that, probably representing a RCSB 2wd. I have a SCSB 4x4 (302 M5OD)

Last time I went to the dump, I tared out at #5900 with me and some gas in the 351w supercab 4wd longbox. And some junk in the back seat.
